Lunch, and our stay in the background...
Jeff B.

Oregon Coast chain resto, and the only one in our area. They are a step above a regular diner experience, foodwise, and have a nice dining area, with big booths for gorillas like (moi). Booths are spaced nicely in an 80s style of way. Their take on a Club was great, and the other half will be my lunch on Monday. Here's the deal... I don't eat pink-flesh fish, but the Wifey loves it. I suggested the salmon, and she took a big chance going for it. Didn't hear much from her, as she was eating, but I got the gist. They hit the right notes for that Iowa gal. Really nice crew in there, providing friendly service. Not somewhere that most folks might consider a destination, but a comfortable fit for us regular folk. Gotta give them a high five for our lunch, fo' sho...

And these are my fresh tomatoes on my fresh salad talk about yuck

So I asked my waitress if fresh strawberries are still available , definitely yes , my strawberries were one step away from Jam - anything but fresh . I'll never order the crêpes with fresh strawberries again ... my service was fantastic The restaurant is clean. The cables are clean. The silverware was clean. The staff was clean.

German pancake.

The German pancake was both sweet and savory. I've never had anything like this before. Husband had prime rib hash. I also had a lavender mimosa. All of it over the top delicious. Reasonable prices. I wish I could visit again but we were just passing through. Service was excellent.

It looks like a Dennys but the food is better. The German Pancake is great. The ambiance nice Coffee was good! Strawberry waffles were good

Excellent food and a great experience. Our server Ashley was so sweet and gave us good advice on what to order - the German pancake was so yummy. The manager was so kind as well! Thank you for a very good experience. We will be back.

No counter to sit at. And I don't like it one bit when you can't see what's going on in the kitchen. Place seems clean enough.

I very rarely give out TOP stars, but this place was kind of amazing. My dining experience started…read moreout with my greeting at the front of the {historic bldg. which had been previously a "brothel"} restaurant. Cheerfully greeted and {as I was with a "walker" because of my recent hip replacement surgery} she suggested if I wanted a lower table it would be toward the back. She gave me a menu then momentarily disappeared to get me a room temperature water (delightful) and then we discussed the menu. I then ordered with her suggestions and waited. Not too very long thereafter, my lunch arrived - a lovely surprising portion, colorful, well presented and exactly as I was hoping for. The parmesan halibut addition to my seasonal salad (which BTW is not current on their website but my variation was DELISH) was tasteful and moist. The kale based salad was dressed in a cranberry vinaigrette, but I'd asked for a side of Bleu Cheese as well (my weakness, especially if it's a delightful house made version as this was). I only ate half & took the rest home, as it was large enough for two meals - and @ a price point which was reasonable for this day & age! Thank you to my very caring & hospitable server - she made my lunchtime meal more than I could have expected!!! Go try them, Now!

I said several times I don't eat butter so didn't wash Nashville, she said oh it's a dry rub then when I saw another plate arrive said oh no is that how it comes can we please not put mayonnaise on top of mine for the miso honey. Anyway my plate arrive arrived covered in butter and cheese. Who puts cheese on fries without saying so? So I obviously could not eat any of it. I didn't bother to have them remake it and paid for an un-edible meal but asked her what could I have done differently she said tell us about your allergies and I was like, well I did. I told you I don't eat butter and the cornbread still arrived with the biggest slab of butter I've ever seen. Like wtf? Disappointing. But I will say the pickled vegetables were amazing! 10/10

It feels like you somehow wandered into a slightly spooky Disney bayou attraction that also happens to serve brunch. Decorated to the nines and immersive, it is both a meal and an experience. We went for an early Sunday breakfast and were seated quickly. By the time we left around 9 there were still a handful of open tables, but I would guess reservations are smart from 9:30 on. I started with a cortado made with Evan's Brothers beans. They also offer a chicory blend if that is your thing. Our waitress was attentive, answered all of our questions, and was great about a few modifications we asked for. They do have some gluten free and vegetarian options, though not a huge amount of gluten free. We started with the beignets and they were excellent. Perfect portion for two with a couple topping options. I would go back just for those. I ordered their take on eggs Benedict and my husband had the classic breakfast plate. Both were really flavorful, but the seasoned potatoes were a standout. Portions are generous, we ended up getting two more portions out of the leftovers. Overall, a really fun and memorable brunch spot. I am looking forward to going back for one of the events when they have live music.

I was expecting a different experience from a business that defines itself as "upscale." In all…read morehonesty, that is why I was in no rush to try this business as I tend to enjoy more comfy food, but we have some friends that prefer the upscale life. That being said, service was very good. That's the high point. The WINGS were a disappointment. They were akin to Costco's precooked wings, but these were all about presentation versus good taste. Try not petrifying the meat would be a good start. I had one of the hamburger plates. I really liked the fries. These were well prepared. The hamburger on the other hand was lacking any uniqueness or even quality beef. So if you are one of those people that believes a hamburger should be a culinary experience, this is not the dish you want to get here. Okay, I hate to be the negative Nelly, but the worst part of the upscale experience was the crescendo of noise. It crept up on you as the lunch crowd moved in. It was seriously hard to communicate at your own table. The decor offers little to no sound mitigation. Seriously, consider acoustic tiles. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Prices were fair, given our current economic conditions.
